This could work for my flashback session...
I suppose gnome-setting-daemon in trusty might need a bit more time to load their plugins, or indicators-applet would need some tricks to load into gnome-panel?

Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

Would somebody like to help this uneducated peasant and explain what those commands do?

My first guess was that they create a script. But I could not see what was to be put in the script. My second guess, after a little research (including that Launchpad link), is that they change the permissions of a bin/executable file called gnome-panel. I am now guessing that the plus sign ( + ) in front of the x = execute sign causes a delay in the executing of gnome-panel.

Oh, I do already know what the echo command does.

Regards.

Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

Create folder (it did not exist on my machine) (it is included in the PATH env.var. before /usr/bin so it is OK) and open file for editing

Code:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel

Put into that file:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gnome-panel &

Make it executable

Code:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel

All this makes easy get-back path:

Code:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel

with possible addition of erasing even folder if iw was not there before this operation...
For the sake of security I will not give code for that erasure since (if it was there before and had some files) that could make certain problems to someone who does copy&paste blindly...

I really didn't bother trying to figure it out, I just considered the source:
